Cookbook Clubs

The 641 Cookbook Club chooses a new cookbook every month, and members make recipes from their cookbook selection to share. The Happy Cookers Cookbook Club adopts a new theme each month and cooks recipes based around that theme. Join these culinary adventurers today!

We’re conducting a survey to help the Georgia Public Library Service and the Dawson and Lumpkin libraries learn more about your experiences during our Summer Reading Program. If you have children participating in the summer reading program and a few minutes to spare, we’d be most grateful if you would fill out a survey.

You can submit the survey online or print a copy to bring into the library. Once you’ve completed and submitted the survey, please stop by Dawson County Library to receive one adult entry for our Apple iPad Mini drawing or Lumpkin County Library to receive one Library Buck!
